You can listen to some music on the audio players below, you can also find music videos from many German artists here.

Peter Fox

Peter Fox is the lead singer of the German band Seeed, but he also brought out one solo album which was a huge hit in Germany. His music is a mix out of hip hop and reggae and many of his songs are about his hometown Berlin. All of his music is entirely in German which differs from his music with Seeed in which English and German are both used. The song Haus am See is his vision of how his life will be once he is old.

Juli

Juli started out singing in English under the name Sunnyglade. They made the decision to sing in German instead and switched their name to Juli. They were faced with people, even their own friends, telling them how "uncool" singing in German is. Juli stuck with their decision and by now they are one of Germany's most popular bands. The song Wir Beide is about friendship and is from their album "Ein Neuer Tag."

Die Fantastischen Vier

Fanta4 started in the late 80s, early 90s when rap and hip hop wasn't much explored by German artists. They have been around since and they have never lost much of their popularity in Germany. Every one of the band members has done some solo projects, but they have always found back together as Fanta4. The song Troy was the first single after a long break. Troy is a play on the German word "treu" (loyal, faithful) and is about the band being loyal to their fans.

Sportfreunde Stiller

The 2006 World Cup held in Germany was a resounding success. Sportfreunde Stiller’s song “’54, ‘74, ‘90, 2006” was the inofficial World Cup anthem. The song is Sportfreunde Stiller’s biggest hit to date and made it to number one in the German single charts.

The World Cup’s smash hit was not the first time the Sportfreunde sang about soccer. The trio from Munich made its first appearance in 1996 naming their band Stiller in honor of their first youth soccer coach. Their debut album was entitled “So wie einst Real Madrid”, a reference to one of the world’s top soccer teams. It was released in 2000 and was the launchpad for the band’s successful career.

Die Ärzte

Die Ärzte (the doctors) were formed in Berlin in 1982 by singer/guitarist Jan Vetter (alias Farin Urlaub, a pun on the expression “Fahr in Urlaub”, which means to "Go on vacation"), drummer Dirk Felsenheimer (alias Bela B.), and bassist Hans Runge. The trio adopted the name Die Ärzte because no other band's moniker started with the letter Ä. Their goal in forming the band was twofold: they wanted to instill some humor into punk and capture the hearts of millions of girls in the process.The song Deine Schuld is about saving the world. "Es ist nicht deine Schuld, dass die Welt ist wie sie ist. Es wär nur deine Schuld wenn sie so bleibt."- "It's not your fault that the world is what it's like. It would only be your fault if it stays like this."

Die Toten Hosen

Die Toten Hosen (literally: The Dead Trousers) were founded in 1982 in the city of Düsseldorf. They got their start during the Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) when German labels were looking for bands singing in German. Die Toten Hosen coming out of the Punk movement didn’t quite fit with this mostly fun, pop-oriented sound but nevertheless became very popular with a young audience. In 1984 they were called “Germany’s Number One Punk Band.”

An Tagen wie diese came out in the summer of 2012 and became the unofficial anthem of the European Soccer Championship.
